Pros and Cons of Dual Control vs. Standard Set-up with a Shifter Pod and Brake Lever

The reason for the potential switch is to provide more flexibility with position my levers and shifters as well as shifting performance. I have had some issues with ghost shifting. I have a new chain and Cassette as well as New 07' XTR Derailleurs.

Discovered a bent rear derailleur hanger yesterday! Being repaired today..... This should help. I am going to run a few more weeks on the dual control to determine what the root cause might have been. I like the shifters. The brakes have been superb.
